The next day, after completing the body measurement without any problems, although there were some minor conflicts.

Now that we have Ethan’s body measurements, we head out to the shopping district today to buy some clothes with this information.

Of course, Ethan isn’t here. It’s no fun if you decide to pick out each other’s clothes and then tell them in advance what you’re going to buy.

‘Whenever I went out like this at the academy, Agnes was always by my side.’

It was a moment when I felt regretful for having wasted a year on a useless misunderstanding. At least I wasn’t bored when I was with Agnes because we kept teasing each other.

Except for Agnes, Natalie and Lizzie, who were my closest classmates, were gone, and the other members of the warrior party that I had grown close to, all graduated, so I felt secretly lonely.

If it weren’t for Lilia and Mirifra, I would have probably spent the last year feeling quite depressed. That’s why I ended up going out with them today.

“Thank you for meeting my sudden request today, Miss Lilia. And Mirif.”

“No! It’s my calling to do whatever Senior Release asks, so don’t worry about it!”

“I am always ready to listen to what Sister Lily has to say… . Father, please don’t feel pressured and sing to your heart’s content… !”

…they were two people who were burdensome in different ways, with one being too confident and the other being too nervous.

I’m used to it, since it was hard to keep up with Lilia’s tension the first time we met and even now… but I have a feeling that Mirif has become increasingly awkward lately.

Anyway, since there were only two people left in the academy that I could call friends, I had no other choice. In fact, I thought about going shopping alone, but it was more fun to go shopping with others.

Since Lilia was a graduating student like me and didn’t have any classes, and since Mirif also had a day off today, she had the whole day free, so it wasn’t hard to coordinate our schedules.

‘The two of them don’t have much of a relationship with men, but if they both look at each other through the eyes of the opposite sex, it will help to some extent.’

Since Lilia has Karaham, she probably has some knowledge of noble men’s clothing, and Mirif has also been acquainted with male knights at church. It means that they may not have much experience in dating, but they are not unfamiliar with the opposite sex.

It was a shopping outing that I embarked on with such hopeful observations.

“I came out to buy Ethan’s graduation party outfit today, but… if you two need it, I’ll stop by other places too. By the way, has Miss Lilia decided what she’s going to wear to the graduation party?”

“Ah, yes! As the representative of the Barbaracus tribe, I have prepared my tribe’s long-standing traditional costume! At this graduation party, I will completely end the prejudice that others have against our tribe… .”

“… After this is over, let’s take a quick look at Miss Lilia’s party outfit. There’s plenty of time for that. ”

No matter what, having a savage barbarian barge into a graduation party is a bit much. Rather than eradicating prejudice, it would just instill indelible stereotypes in people’s minds.

Since she has a pretty face, if you dress her up nicely, she’ll definitely be fine, so I don’t understand why she’d insist on trying to appeal to the savage. If it weren’t for Karam, but someone else, she would’ve at least been able to restrain that temperament to some extent.

Since it was Lilia’s graduation party, Karaham would probably attend as well, and for the sake of the honor of the Auguste family, I had to stop such crazy things from happening.

-Tiring~.

“Welcome~.”

“Yes, hello.”

“Are you looking for something?”

“Let me take a quick look around. Where should I go for the men’s suit section?”

“Ah, I will guide you to the second floor for men’s clothing.”

The guide naturally took me and my group upstairs with those words.

… For some reason, as soon as I entered, I had the illusion that several employees were moving around strangely busily.

“… Is that you? I’ll contact the CEO first.”

“… Ah, yes. You just arrived. Oh, it seems like you have company. Yes, yes. I checked. ”

… It doesn’t really have anything to do with me. In the first place, I’m too busy choosing Ethan’s clothes to worry about anything else.

Since I couldn’t try them on one by one like I did when I picked out Natalie and Agnes’ swimsuits last time, I had to be very careful when choosing the clothes.

I brought a size chart with me that I recorded while feeling around Ethan’s body here and there… no, measuring here and there, so there’s no way I’ll make a mistake.

“Release Senior, Release Senior!”

“What’s going on all of a sudden, Miss Lilia?”

“Look at this! Doesn’t this outfit have a flashy yet wild vibe?! I think it’s perfect for Ethan Senior’s graduation party outfit!”

“… That’s underwear, Miss Lilia.”

It was also a gorgeous leopard-print underwear. There probably weren’t any tigers around here, so why on earth was there underwear with that design?

“Even if it’s underwear, if it can give off a wild vibe, isn’t it worth it as clothing?”

“… Yes?”

“In the first place, clothes were made to cover up body parts! The act of covering up outerwear and underwear is not masculine! Until last year, my father didn’t wear any other clothes except for one set of clothes on his lower body, so it’s a good opportunity for Ethan to show off his masculinity with these clothes… .”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to make a fool of my husband, Miss Liria?”

“A joke! I actually thought this outfit was so cool that I wanted to change the pattern of my traditional outfit to something like this when I saw it… .”

“… I really need to check out Miss Lilia’s clothes before the end of the day.”

I really can’t understand the sensibility of a real savage. The naked training I heard about last time and all that stuff, she really is someone whose tastes are different from those of ordinary people.

Of course, Ethan would look good in anything he wears, so he could wear leopard-print panties and still look great, but it’s not something he’d wear to a prom.

It’s a long-awaited graduation party, and I don’t want other people to think Ethan is cool. I can’t stand seeing him become a laughing stock.

… Well, I guess I’ll just remember it since it won’t be noticeable if I wear it under my clothes.

“How about this, Sister Lily?”

“Yes?”

“Here… This is how you wear a black design. A black suit, a black shirt, a black tie, black shoes, black gloves, black socks, and a black hooded muffler that covers your head… .”

“… What kind of assassin costume are you planning on making for my husband, Mirif?”

“Uh… … . Assassin, isn’t he cool?”

…Where did this kid get this weird fetish from?

Well, compared to what Lilia said, it’s a fairly normal and unique outfit… but still, Miriff’s choice of clothing was a bit excessive.

Although an all-black color scheme can look stylish depending on the person wearing it, matching the hood muffler and gloves with black feels like an exaggeration.

It was the perfect fashion for someone who didn’t know to mistake it for an assassin attacking a graduation party rather than a graduate.

‘Still, I guess it wouldn’t be so bad to add some black accents to some outfits.’

Even if we exclude black outerwear and shoes because they are so common, black dress shirts and black gloves were definitely a fresh idea. Let’s remember them for now.

‘If the dress shirt is black, how about choosing a slightly brighter color for the outer garment? Since I usually wear mostly blue clothes, it might not be a bad idea to wear a light blue color coat, which is a lighter color in the blue family.’

Now that the direction has been decided to some extent, I feel like I have a rough idea of what clothes I should dress Ethan in.

As I was looking through some lighter colored coats to find a size that would fit Ethan, I heard someone hurriedly coming up the stairs in the store.

-Thump thump thump thump thump…!

“… … ?”

“Lee, release! Huh, this, this is…! Hoo, hoo… . Woo, what a coincidence… !!”

“Miss Lizzy…?”

… Is there a rule that says he has to appear like this?

And why do they suddenly pop up everywhere when I’m shopping at the Academy Shopping Mall?

Judging from the messy hair and sweat running down her body, she seemed to have come running from somewhere in a hurry a little while ago… She probably wouldn’t have come running in such a hurry to a clothing store.

“This, hoo, hoo, this is…! I, I have work to do today, huh, I’m visiting the Gentle Salon, huh, uh, how did you know… Ke, keke, keuk… .”

“I’m not going to run away anywhere in particular, so would you mind hiding somewhere and telling me, Miss Lizzy?”

“Hoo, yes, yes… . I, I am again not befitting the daughter of the Auguste family… . B, I am embarrassing… .”

Actually, I’ve already seen plenty of embarrassing scenes of Lizzy, so it wasn’t particularly new.

It’s a one-sided relationship, but it’s one where you even show off your naked body, so to this extent, what’s wrong?

Although she said it was a coincidence, she must have heard from somewhere that I was here. Honestly, no matter how dull I am, I know that Lizzy, who appears like this every time, is making this effort to meet me.

That’s why I always feel grateful for Lizzy’s friendship, but also feel burdened by it.

‘Still, I’ve been by your side and have received help many times.’

She was a woman who I couldn’t hate anymore, since she had helped me a lot when I was pregnant with Iris and when I was raising her. Even if the burden of our friendship was somewhat heavy, that was a secondary thing.

“Your hair is a mess, Miss Lizzie. Could you tilt your head over here for a second so I can straighten it?”

-Swish, swish.

“Huh, hehhihi?! Haa, haa, haa… .”

… I hope you don’t get too hung up on it like this though.

Because no one else, male or female, needs this kind of attention.
